An all win corruption

Our so-called democracy has degenerated to the initial conception of a democratic government. Basically, a body of mercenaries for fooling the population into believing that, they are on the side of the people. Using the disguise of a representative, they propose solutions for their masters that keeps the population of slaves under control and voluntarily obedient. Recently, we have also applied the technique of endowing the leader with divine attributes.

Lobbying has established a double-edge winning tradition in favor of corporations. Republicans will cut taxes for the rich and democrats will flood the country with immigrants thereby shrinking salaries and wages. Occasionally someone enters the White House to boost our corporate foreign policy. The fact that we are talking about all of this in a democratic system simply means that we as the people have lost the war of poverty.

In ancient times, opening the city gate for enemy soldiers was treason because the soldiers would take peoples’ belongings and rape their daughters. Well, the loss of jobs causes people to lose their homes, and their daughters end up working for playboy. Thus, in a country that jobs are a matter of life and death, anyone deliberately causing loss of jobs is a traitor. Overflowing the country with cheaper foreign skills hurts millions in favor of a few corporate traitors.

A private business, such as insurance and banking cannot make its own laws. However, our lawmakers have been quite creative in providing the private sector with the opportunity to dictate its set of laws to our nation. Thanks to lobbying, instead of a single dictator we can have any number of them, turning us into a democratically multi-dictatorship nation, or a government-backed anarchism. In particular, lobbying is an effective technique for legalization of theft, a generalization of legacy of Al Capon.

The management of our retirement plan is the most vivid example of unequal treatment. Social security taxes are collected on the first $97,000 of any salary. This is so the rich pay less into a Social Service, but they delightfully accept large social security checks at their retirement.

The rich do not need social security checks for their daily lives. So, our elected representatives solve the retirement financial problems by raising the retirement age instead of raising the cap on social security taxes. This is so brutal that is hard to explain. Just think for a moment and observe who is more likely to live longer, and therefore who will be receiving the social security checks for many years of their lives. You should easily see the only one reason for raising retirement age and imposing a cap on social security taxes.

No human being other than vulture capitalists would make people work until the age of 70 for their basic needs. Note that these people make less than $100,000 and will be paying into social security, perhaps until they die. In fact, their social security checks are so small that they will need to work until they die.

The vulture capitalists easily demonize fair representatives through their corrupted media. A tiny percentage of our elected representatives actually represent 90 percent of our population. The rest are the mercenaries of the rich, or one of their relatives representing them in our Legislative Branch.

The search for profit by manipulating a nation’s laws will continue to bring extreme miseries to those of us who depend on the availability of jobs. A participating nation can prevent the abuse of its democratic system. However, such social advancements require the participation of almost the entire nation. We are, and we will be kept too far from the day that our entire nation will live like a small family, the way Jesus taught.
